LAS VEGAS — May 8, 2006 — In a packed hall of developers and industry partners at Microsoft Corp.’s annual Mobile & Embedded DevCon, the company announced the availability of a beta release of Windows^® CE 6, the next generation of its industry-leading, real-time software used to build customized operating systems for devices such as Internet Protocol (IP) set-top-boxes, Global Positioning System (GPS)-based devices, and industrial automation and medical devices. With the redesigned operating system (OS) kernel architecture, expanded capacity for simultaneous processes and a newly integrated tool set, Windows CE 6 will help device makers more quickly create devices that support a range of applications for high-demand categories.

“Together with our partners, we’re excited to celebrate the 10-year milestone of Windows CE by offering a new version of our software that will fuel the future of smart connected devices around the world,” said Suzan DelBene, corporate vice president of the Mobile & Embedded Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. “Once again, we’ve improved the technologies and tools we provide to developers to speed time to market and help to differentiate their products and services.”

Windows CE 6 delivers an even more integrated embedded development environment that is now available via a plug-in for Visual Studio^® 2005. Now developers have a single, familiar tool to help them quickly develop both operating systems and applications, helping enable them to improve time to market and reduce development costs. With Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft is opening the floodgates for over 7 million Visual Studio developers worldwide to use their existing tools and skills to create innovative, differentiated embedded devices.
